Gently been uncleared and unsightly stock
ranges, will soon respond to agricultural
and horticultural demands and be classed
among the most thriving and attractive
portions of the State.
showed In.
We understand that the train conveying
Captain Cooks company (B) ran into a
snow-bank somewhere between Colfax and
Nevada City Monday night. The list of
the killed and wounded has not vet been
reported at headquarters, but the Captain
and many members must have expected
such result, as they had accident policies
taken out before they left here. The poll
cies are in the hands of one of the regi-
mental officers, and he expects to be able
to retire from business, as he receives 10
per cent. commission. If any members
escaped, they will be down at 1870 this
forenoon. The drum major was rescued,
as he was located by his bearskin hat stick
ing out of the bank.
LATER-A dispatch received last evening
announced that the company reached Ne
vada City at 1:30 P. NJ. yesterday, arriving
in good order.
THE SENSATIONAL KALEIDosCoPE.-Last
lengthy statement from the wife of E. J.
Smith, the clerk at the Secretary's desk in
the Assembly, who has been placing large
number of people upon an extremely hot
griddle, in which she asserts that they were
married at Portland in 1888 that he has
frequently cruelty treated her, beat her,
and failed to provide fer the wants of her
self and child, and spent his short earn
ings in getting drunk, etc. She is extremely
vindictive toward him, claims he is unre-
liable; that she has been compelled to
work in an oyster saloon to obtain support
for herself and child, and that she will
soon proceed to obtaina divorce from him.
To-day will probably bring another turn
of this sensational kaleidoscope, but the
people best qualified ojudge believe there
is considerable fire behind the smoke that
has been kicked up under the Assembly
investigation.
WASHINGToN'S BIRTHlAY.-The anniver-
sary of the birth of the Father of His Coun-
